On ebay there is the first section 16 I have seen below £500. It is started on £300.. Good bargain... Although looks a crap machine..

Bloody hell, don't you know how eBay works?

No offense but £300 start with 9 days and 2 hours left - I can't see it finishing below £300.

As for it being an awful machine, I reckon it would appeal no end to the blue-rinse brigade :p

I know how ebay works mate - god I am obsessed with it.. lol

But all the Section 16's I've seen on there have been started at £600. So my point was this is the lowest starting price I have seen on one. Plus they haven't been selling, so who knows?? I go to Bingo.. lol.. Onl way I can visit my mom... Bet the blue rinsers would love it..

Lord knows why they put it on a £300 start, I'd have started it on a penny to generate more interest, and also save on eBay fees (from memory a £300 start rather than a penny start means you instantly pay eBay a couple of quid more to host the auction).

Makes no difference if they set the reserve at a higher price, thats the fee you pay

the arcade it is from (churchill leisure, boundary road, Portslade) is merely quick off the mark when it comes to only retaining 4 section16 machines.

some people have noticed that some arcades are seemingly bursting at the seams with all these new s16 machines, but since the law has changed, they will have to sell them all off.

so if a machine has a multi-player machine, it counts as either 3 machines or 4 machines out of the 4 total allowance.

i played red hot fever in that arcade, never did get the £675, but got the £450 a good 5-6 times.

the law for bingo halls is not that different, but they can have different machines.

as far as im aware, the law change is imminent, and you should see a total demise of many of the section16 machines.

Almost the same as the Brighton Gala too....

I do think though that as a Bingo hall is for 18+ only with no exceptions to any part of the building....and you need to be a registered member (as in a Casino) the rules should be more relaxed.
